The Twilight Zone, season 1 episode 4, October 23, 1959 - The sixteen millimetre shrine

closing narration:
"To the wishes that come true, to the strange, mystic strength of the human animal, who can take a wishful dream and give it a dimension of its own. To Barbara Jean Trenton, movie queen of another era, who has changed the blank tomb of an empty projection screen into a private world. It can happen in the Twilight Zone."

Well, that was a long haul, but I finished watching (or re-watching) all of the original #TwilightZone episodes. Like all shows, it was hit and miss, but mostly hit, and It was a product of its times, but not as much as other shows from that era. The message delivered was usually clever. I imagine it borrowed from earlier shows with which I'm unfamiliar, but it was original to me. #TV

The Twilight Zone, season 1 episode 3, October 16, 1959 - Mr. Denton on Doomsday

closing narration:
"Mr. Henry Fate, dealer in utensils and pots and pans, liniments and potions. A fanciful little man in a black frock coat who can help a man climbing out of a pit—or another man from falling into one. Because, you see, fate can work that way, in the Twilight Zone."

I always liked to watch reruns of Twilight Zone growing up, but I had no idea that Rod Sterling was as eloquent and reflective as he is in this interview.

Basically the US media is happy to point out injustices as long as those injustices are in a far away land and the use of comedy to mask our own in the US. This might be where the “American Exceptionalism” stems from. Nightly programs that shows everyone else’s fucked shit but our own

The Twilight Zone, season 1 episode 2, October 9, 1959 - One for the angels

closing narration:
"Lewis J. Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Formerly a fixture of the summer, formerly a rather minor component to a hot July. But, throughout his life, a man beloved by the children, and therefore, a most important man. Couldn't happen, you say? Probably not in most places – but it did happen in the Twilight Zone."

The Twilight Zone, Season 1 episode1 (Oct 2, 1959) - Where is everybody?

closing narration: "The barrier of loneliness: The palpable, desperate need of the human animal to be with his fellow man. Up there, up there in the vastness of space, in the void that is sky, up there is an enemy known as isolation. It sits there in the stars waiting, waiting with the patience of eons, forever waiting, in The Twilight Zone."
